In this original and sensitive ethnography of frontier life, Elizabeth Perkins recovers the rhythms of warfare, subsistence, and cultural encounter that governed existence on the margins of British America. Richly detailed, Border Life captures the intimate perceptive universe of the men and women who colonized Kentucky and southern Ohio during the Revolutionary era. In reconstructing the mental world of border inhabitants, Perkins draws on a pioneering source in oral history. In the 1840s, the Reverend John Dabney Shane conducted hundreds of interviews with surviving western settlers, gathering their recollections on topics ranging from food preparation to encounters with Native Americans. ...
Pierce offers a revealing new look at NASCAR racing from its postwar beginnings on Daytona Beach and Piedmont dirt tracks through the early 1970s, when the sport spread beyond its Southern roots and gained national recognition.
Did you ever hear the name of a place and wonder "where in the world was that?" Answering that question about quaint and historic places in Clark County, Kentucky, became the basis of a regular column in the Winchester Sun called "Where In The World?" The series began on January 6, 2005, with "Bramblett's Lick." This is the third published volume of those collected columns. Previous volumes contained 162 articles published between 2005 and 2016. This volume continues the series with 56 articles that appeared in the Sun from June 2016 to March 2018. There are fewer articles in this volume because more recent articles are much longer than the early ones. Each article describes a historic location or notable person in Clark County, some well known, some not so well known. Some articles were updated from the newspaper version as additional information became available.
All she wanted was a little revenge, what she got was a whole lot of trouble. Freya Morgan just wanted one thing: someone to beat up her evil ex-boyfriend. So she did what any self-respecting co-ed does, and hired the campus bad boy to kick his butt. It was the best idea ever. In fact, scorned girlfriends all over campus started hiring him to exact revenge on their exes. But now some of those exes are turning up dead, and he’s the only connection. Dean Collins is in trouble, and it’s all Freya’s fault. She’s the one who got him into the vengeance business in the first place and now he expects her to get him out. When Freya agrees to help Dean find the real killer, she discovers that this bad boy isn’t so bad, after all. Also, he’s almost too hot to handle. Getting involved with him means more than solving a murder, it means potentially losing her life…and her heart.
Often defined as communication without words, non-verbal communication (NVC) refers to all aspects of a message which are not conveyed by the literal meaning of words. Both written and spoken communication can be nonverbal. The main types of NVC are chronemics, kinesics, paralinguistics, proxemics and semiotics. Culture, gender and social status influence non-verbal communication. NVC also includes object communication and haptics or touch. Paralinguistic mechanisms include intonation, stress, rate of speech, and pauses or hesitations; non-linguistic behaviours include gestures, facial expressions, and body language, among others. This book brings forth new and important research in this field.
Like no other sport, golf obsesses those poor souls who hope to master its subtleties and abundant complexities. One shot is hit like a dream, the next a nightmare. As a result, the game's disciples have embraced any and all techniques endorsed by pros and hackers, poets and philosophers (these days a good walk is often spoiled by tripping over a sandtrap's worth of Zen meditations and mystical tomes). But while so many have journeyed through golf's metaphysics, no one has presented a readable, compelling look at the science of the game -- until now. In Newton on the Tee, accomplished science writer John Zumerchik examines, explores, and explains to us the endless details that make golf such...

Lucky for me, a brooding cowboy from the bar will work just fine. Especially since he’s everything a girl might want by her side or in her bed. Crazily enough, when you fake it until you make it, sometimes you actually make it. Now I’m falling for this wild stallion and he’s not used to being tamed. It was just supposed to be one event, but something tells me it’s going to turn into many, many more. Especially if he keeps sweeping me off my feet with his tainted ways.
